Users being added to Newsletter

In the settings I have "Wordpress user registration" set to "Disable". Users cannot register themselves on this blog, however it is a multi-author blog, an every time I add or edit a contributor they are added to the Newsletter Members. Should it not be checking that the user registration is set to Disable to not do this? Also, I have "Double opt-in" set to "Enable" - so even when they are added to the Newsletter Members I don't see any way to confirm them even if I did want them to be added to the list.

Having public user registration turned off shouldn't affect your e-Newsletter subscriptions at all.

I'd love to take a look at your e-Newsletter settings to see why it's behaving this way, would that be all right with you? If this is ok, just grant me temporary admin access to your site by clicking "Grant Access" button in the WPMU DEV Dashboard Settings from the following path and reply on this thread after granting it?

I believe users are added but as unsubscribed - this means that emails won't be sent to them. They are added to eNewsletter list to keep users in sync - the important part is that they are not subscribed -thats what this option is for.

In case those users are in the list as subscribed then this is really a bug but i can't reproduce it. Marking as resolved for now.

Hi maniu, thank you for the explanation. I would think it would be preferable as an enhancement then to first check whether the "automatically add new users to newsletter" is selected before adding them to the newsletter.

Also, as I mentioned, because I have a double opt-in list, there is no way that I can see to confirm those users that have been added as "unsubscribed" - so if you are going to go ahead and add them to the newsletter there needs to be a way to "subscribe" them.

It is checking but the check decides if wp user will be subscribed to newsletters.
To add user as subscribed, you have "Change Groups" button next to each user in "Members" or you can also use "bulk actions" and add to "subscribed" group.
